Sessions invokes ‘Anglo-American heritage’ of sheriff’s office

Washington( CNN) Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Monday brought up sheriffs’ “Anglo-American heritage” during statements to law enforcement officers in Washington.

“We must never erode this historical agency, ” Sessions continued.

Invoking “Anglo-American heritage” seems to have been an impromptu decision by the us attorney general. A written version of the statements says that Conferences was supposed to say: “The sheriff is a critical part of our legal heritage.”
